that's just a 2 gang old work (remodel) box. CARLON HOME PRODUCTS # BH234R
just check to be sure the recep will mount on a 2 gang box (no screw bosses in the middle, There are two sets, each offset from the center so as to accommodate 2 switches, receps, whatever). I believe they are designed for the screw offset of a 2 gang box.
well heck. The image doesn't want to post.
the screw "boss" is simply the little nub with the hole in it for the screws to screw into. As to fitting into that box; that is why I said make sure the recep you get will fit a 2 gang box. I did a quick look on the 'net and it would appear it is common for a dryer recep to have mounting holes for a 2 gang box.
I have used the old work box for dryer receptale as well just be extra carefull when you mount the box make sure you get them good and tight it will fit in nice.
Otherwise I go old school is use the deepwell 4X4 box { actaully 4X4X2 1/8 inch } and screw it to the stud that useally do the trick otherwise may have to make a cross brace to support the box.

A two-gang box is standard issue for a dryer receptacle, as is a two-gang sized plate.
You do NOT need a 4x4 box with mud rings and all. Besides, good luck trying to find one.
Use the box shown in post #2. Better yet, get a two-gang "Smart Box" and attach it to a stud.
2 gang plastic boxes are used all the time, they will be listed for 220 volt
